The PGA Tour continues its course-rotation season with the Farmers Insurance Open, held at the iconic Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, California. As one of the premier stops on the Tour, this event always delivers a compelling mix of breathtaking scenery, a challenging course, and a star-studded field. This used to traditionally be where Tiger Woods would start his PGA Tour season, leading to a raft of top talent including it in their regular rotation.
The Course: Torrey Pines South and North
The tournament is played across two courses during the opening rounds: the North and South Courses. However, the focus shifts exclusively to the demanding South Course for the weekend. Torrey Pines South, a 7,765-yard par 72 layout, is a true test of skill with its narrow fairways, penal rough, and undulating greens. Additionally, its coastal location brings the ever-present challenge of swirling winds.
The North Course, while slightly shorter at 7,258 yards, offers players a chance to go low in the opening rounds with wider fairways and less punishing greens. Scoring well here is critical for contenders to stay in the mix heading into the weekend.
